"hell they didnt even FILM in Scotland..... it was all Ireland that you saw!"

The first part of the film was Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, a lot of fight scenes were filmed in Ireland beacase they used the Irish reserve as "extras" and there are tax benefits etc involved in filming in Ireland.

"if you read the history on William Wallace he wasnt a nice guy..... the belt he hung his claymore on ( I cant remeber what its called) was supposedly made from the skin of an english officer,"

there is very very little known about Wallace and at the time he was attempting to repel an invading army and an illegal accupation that had carried out several massacres, not leasts a Berwick on Tweed, Even Longshanks was shocked to hear about an English soldier putting a women to the sword whilst giveing birth, so being a "nice guy" wasnt really an option.

Wallaces sword was 66 inches in length ( over five foot) so had he hung it from his belt it would have dragged along behind him rather uncomfortably.

They were very different times and in Longshanks he had a desperate and ruthless nemesis that would make todays "despots" pale into insignificance, any type of chivalary would have meant defeat, and at the time all Scots were subject to being hung drawn and quarted.

Ultimatly Wallace failed and even Bruces victory at Bannockburn was wiped out in 1707 but at least its a Union rather than occupation, however scotland is still used as a resource, our North sea gas and oil was plundered by the British government and all of Britains WMDs are kept in Scotland.
